Proper Formatting of Links

Use informative words for the link’s visible text so the reader knows where it leads.

Do not use generic phrases (e.g. Click Here).

Use the URL as a hyperlink, not in the content. If you do type out the URL (rare occasion) remove unneeded text such ashttp:// and index.html.
